Seems reasonable....is it in your own home?
Actually truth be told, depending on where you are in the Dublin area, it may be ever so slightly low, but only marginally.I have nothing scientific to base that on, by the way!

My kids are minded in childminders home and she does drop offs. Based in Limerick.
Situation is as follows: 2 school going kids 7:30 - 9:15 in morning. Then 2 - 5 in afternoon.
Total hours: 9.5
And 6 month old - 7:30 - 5
Total hours: 9.5
19 hours of minding all in all.
My rate is 70e per day and 80e during holidays.
Considering your total is 21 hours and you are based in Dublin your rate is probably quite good.
I'd be concerned about the holiday rate not changing though.
Even if they've agreed they may feel differently when the time comes.
